“I won’t ever move on, Crimson.’ He took her hand and brought it to his heart. Scarlett’s heart beat wild and uneven in response, but Julian’s remained steady and unwavering beneath her palm.
‘I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I gave you space, because I thought that’s what you needed. But I realized as soon as I saw you today that I was wrong. So I’m in this carriage with you now, ready to go wherever you’re going, even if it means watching you with another man.”
― Stephanie Garber, Finale

“When did you become such an idealist?” “When I met a girl who loved her sister so much she was able to wish her back to life. You might possess magic, but love like that is real power.” “And yet all the love in the world wouldn’t have brought Tella back without my magic.” “She never would have died without your magic, either.” Julian’s smile disappeared. “Tella would have found another way. She didn’t and doesn’t need you to save her. She needs to save you.”
― Stephanie Garber, Finale

“It’s wonderful to finally meet you,’ Scarlett managed.

He smiled, wide and sincere. ‘I’m tempted to say you’re even prettier than I imagined, but I would hate you to think me unoriginal.’

‘Too late,’ Julian coughed.

A wrinkle formed between Nicolas’s thick brows as he noticed Scarlett’s companion. ‘And you are?’

‘Julian.’ He offered his hand.

But Nicolas refused to let go of Scarlett’s. ‘I wasn’t aware Scarlett had a brother.’

‘I’m not her brother.’ Julian kept his tone friendly, but Scarlett felt a surge of bruising purple panic as devilry sparked in Julian’s eyes. ‘I’m not related to her at all. I’m an actor she played with during Caraval.’

He emphasized the words played with, and Scarlett could have choked him. Julian would choose now to finally be honest.

Not that Nicolas appeared disturbed. The young count’s broad smile remained even as he petted Timber with his free hand.

But Julian wasn’t finished.

‘I’m not surprised she’s never mentioned me. At the start of Caraval I don’t think she liked me much. But then we were given the same bedroom—’

‘Julian, enough,’ Scarlett cut in.”

“Was that a yes?” Julian asked.”
― Stephanie Garber, Caraval

“But Scarlett knew who Julian was. He was flawed and imperfect, rash and impulsive. But he was also passionate and loyal and loving and he was who she wanted. His hand was the hand that she wanted to hold. His voice was the sound she wanted to hear, and his smile wasn't just something she wanted to see, she wanted to be the reason for it.”
― Stephanie Garber, Finale

“Scarlett nodded, afraid saying the wrong thing might push him away. With Julian it wasn't about protection---she just wanted to be with him. The boy who'd saved her from drowning in more ways than one.”
― Stephanie Garber, Caraval

“I don’t need to prove anything,’ said Julian. ‘I’m not trying to win her hand. I’m offering her mine, and everything that comes with it, hoping she’ll take it and decide she wants to keep it.”
― Stephanie Garber, Finale

“Julian had a voice meant for casting spells. But tonight he'd have broken them instead. He sounded like salt without the sea. Rough, alone, and lost.”

“So,’ she said cautiously, 'is all this your way of telling me you’re the villain?’

“When the war has lasted twenty years...
the dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears...
the dragonets will come.

Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
Wings of night shall come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
will give to you the wings of sky.
For wings of earth, search through the mud
for an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens,
the SandWing egg awaits unseen.

Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
two shall die and one shall learn
if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
she'll have the power of wings of fire.

Five eggs to hatch on brightest night,
five dragons born to end the fight.
Darkness will rise to bring the light.
The dragonets are coming....”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Dragonet Prophecy

“The look on Deathbringer’s face was so obvious — so real and sad — that Starflight had the weird experience of being able to see what his own expression must be every time he thought of Sunny.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Dark Secret

“We are not leaving Deathbringer!” Glory grabbed Fatespeaker. “Point the way and I’ll go by myself. Starflight, get out of here. Get everyone off the island.” Deathbringer? Starflight opened and closed his mouth. He hadn’t realized that rescuing the NightWing assassin was even on Glory’s agenda, let alone that it was important enough to risk an erupting volcano for. But she’s right. He risked everything for us — for her.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Dark Secret

“That might apply if these dragons were my friends,” Winter objected, “but they’re actually strangers who happened to get thrown into a group with me. They’re not even IceWings. Why should they care what happens to Hailstorm?” “They care what happens to you,” Glory said. “For some reason,” added Deathbringer. “Entertainment value,” offered Qibli.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Winter Turning

“Glory had her tail curled around her talons and was holding her wings in close as wave after wave of odd colors spread through her scales. Deathbringer put one wing around her, gently, and she let him.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Brightest Night

“The whole point of a top secret invisible guard,” Deathbringer said severely, “is for them to be invisible and secret. Therefore it is extremely unhelpful for certain queens to go pointing them out and discussing them loudly with the entire rainforest.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Winter Turning

“Mystery dragon! Hmmm. There’s something different about you. Did you get your claws trimmed?” “Very funny,” she said, baring her teeth at him. “You could have told me you were one of the dragonets,” Deathbringer said. “I’d have asked for your autograph.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Hidden Kingdom

“I wouldn’t leave you, even for a superpower,” Deathbringer said loyally. “I think that is your superpower,” Glory said to him. “Extreme heroic idiocy.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Talons of Power

“Sure enough, a few moments later, an enormous blue-green SeaWing emerged from the water, shaking her wings vigorously. She was powerfully built, as big as Morrowseer, with broad shoulders and gleaming teeth and a healing burn scar on her neck, and she had a trident longer than Deathbringer strapped to her back. Holy mother of lava, Deathbringer thought. I’m supposed to kill THAT?”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Assassin

“My name is Deathbringer.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Hidden Kingdom

“That’s …” Morrowseer paused and regarded him for a moment. “Aggravating. I don’t do business with sniveling dragonets.” “Then you’re in luck,” said Deathbringer. “I am firmly anti-sniveling myself.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Assassin

“I was only half a dragon before I met you, and I would be even less if I lost you now.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Winter Turning
